#IwaoiWeek2025 Day 3 - Enemies to Lovers. Comic based on @inkterim.bsky.social 's fic, "at the end of the world" #iwaoi @iwaoiweek.bsky.social

ID: A comic featuring Iwaizumi and Oikawa from Haikyuu. The background of the first page has a cherry tree, the blossoms falling. A knot on the tree is in the symbol of the Fantasy Haikyuu Quest that Iwaizumi has on his sword. The panels overlay on top of the tree. The sunlight and a breeze flows through the window. Iwaizumi squints as a sliver of sunlight hits his face. He’s on a sheet and pillow on the floor and dressed in an old fashioned shirt. He rises next to his bed. A speech bubble written in elegant script says “Iwa-chan~” End ID.

ID: The first panel shows Demon Oikawa (with his horns) in bed. He’s covered in bandages. His face is screwed up in anguish and his eyes are closed. “Iwa-chan,” he says softly. Then, a bit firmer: “Iwa…”
The next panel shows Iwaizumi clenching his shirt over his heart, and the panel does not show his face.
Oikawa wakes, a blush on his cheeks and his eyes wide. “Iwa-chan?” he says.
The next panel zooms out to show that Iwaizumi is sleeping on the floor of his room, and the bandaged Oikawa is sleeping in his bed. His sword and shoes are on the wall. Both of them look at each other in shock. “…” They both say. End ID.

ID: Oikawa is surprised and sits up in bed. He looks at his clawed hand, turning it back and forth. It’s bandaged. Someone bandaged it. There’s a panel showing the back of his head, his hair covering his eyes. Then, he looks sincerely at Iwaizumi with a soft blush. “I’m not dreaming, am I?” he says softly. Iwaizumi looks at him with a raised eyebrow, and we see he’s a bit scruffy. “You dream about me?”
Oikawa looks at him, his brows twisted in anguish and sorry. His eyes are red and wobble with tears. He gives a tired smile and his eyes are covered in shadow as he says, “Only in my worst nightmares.” End ID.

his cheek. “How?” he asks. “How did you find me?” In faint letters are the unspoken questions: “Why? Why did you help me?”
Iwaizumi looks at him head on, his face sorrowful but firm, and he says “You were injured.”
Unaccompanied by drawings is a single unsaid line in italics: “How could I not?” End ID.

He must be dreaming.

He pinches the back of Iwaizumi’s hand, and while it hurts and the skin discolors, the hands remain the same.

What the fuck?

Imagine that– Oikawa Tooru, the new international setter for Argentina’s National Volleyball team, found dead at eighteen. Cause of death: being madly in love with his best friend.

How pitiful.

ID: A comic page featuring Oikawa and Iwaizumi from Haikyuu. The comic is in teal green”greyscale.” In the first panel, Oikawa leans his chin on his knee and looks softly at the camera. There’s a closeup of his eyes with a soft, almost amazed expression and a blush on his cheeks.
The next panel is cropped to show only their bodies, but you can see that Iwaizumi is kneeling and bandaging Oikawa’s knee by wrapping gauze around it. Oikawa says “You’re good at this, y’know. You could do it professionally if you wanted.”
Iwaizumi looks straight at him, his eyes wide and mouth parted in surprise. He’s blushing. He looks away, nervously rubbing the back of his neck. “You think?” END ID.

ID: The second page of the comic starts with a closeup of Oikawa’s mouth as he says “I know.” “know” has been italicized for emphasis.
Then, there are two chibi panels of Oikawa side by side. In the first, his eyes are closed matter of factly and he has a smile on his face as he points to himself. A sprout goes from his head. “And I’m always right—“
He cuts off into a disgruntled “Yeag!!” and makes a scrunched up face as Iwaizumi throws the roll of gauze on his face.
Their speech bubbles are accompanied by a blank background but continue as Oikawa complains:
“You have a horrible bedside manner!”
Iwaizumi responds, “Good think I gave the world’s worst patient to practice on.”
“Hey!!” Oikawa yells in all caps and italics. End ID.

Oikawa and Iwaizumi have a birthday tradition.

It’s a tradition that started years ago when, at sixteen, there’d been an incident with a photo that should have never seen the light of day. Contrary to what one could have guessed,

“Maybe you should put us out of our misery and kiss for once,” Hanamaki continues, staring straight back at Oikawa, watching the way the pink in his face blossoms into red.
